The AI Founder Playbook, Rewritten

Invitation only · 15 seats · Approval required For founders of fast-growing Series A+ startups, with a limited number of investor seats. Description: When AI compresses engineering cycles from months to days, the scarcest thing in a startup is no longer the ability to build. It's knowing what to build, for whom, and how to win when everyone can ship. That shift rewrites the founder's job. Moats move from code to data, distribution, and judgment. Team shapes change. Capital efficiency changes what "venture scale" even means. The playbooks most of us learned are quietly going out of date, and the new ones are being written right now, by the people in rooms like this one. The evening: Dinner and conversation with a curated table of ~15 founders, operators, and investors. A handful of invited voices will anchor the discussion including Nuno Bartolo, CEO of Glymt [+ additional speakers to be announced]. This is a roundtable, not a panel: everyone at the table is expected to bring opinions. What we'll get into: House rules: Off the record. No slides, no pitches, no recording. Come with a point of view.
